should be keysymbols.tbl (either that or the filename needs to change)

No, for the beta, you needed to unpack keyboard.tar.gz (available at the same place the beta kernel was) in the root directory. (The location wasn't clear in the instructions, but looking at the tarball contents showed the way.)

lots of problems

It sounds like you didn't correctly unpack the modules or the keyboard stuff, either one.

my renamed nand backup disappeared. *sigh*

This is not good. NAND restore is probably the only way out at this point.

bleh, my error I guess. I used the files from the beta, but followed the instructions that was from the fast-kernel (as per his original message)

note: this is using the Sharp ROM

ok, found the source of the problems. the keyboard and modules files needs to be extracted from / rather than the directories as listed in the instructions.

I think after that is when things go awry. Mostly missing things.

I should note that I had to put the "find ..." and "for ..." instructions in a .sh file, otherwise I wouldn't be able to type certain characters.

of course, this meant that all the programs I installed was not being found.

Didn't know a new version was up last october. Anyboy tried this yet or everybody lost interest in the fast kernel?

Version 20051020- definitely fixed remaining keyboard issues with a new compatibility mode- boot in only 1 minute : removed DMESG. Most of the remaining delay is due to jffs2 checks- added other axim keyboard fixes
